- Description
- The VA Eastern Colorado Healthcare System (ECHCS) located in Denver, CO intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Colorado Cytogenetics Laboratory, 4200 East 9th Avenue, C225, Denver, CO for specialized genetic testing required for correct determination of clinical diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma. This contractor provides very specialized testing required for correct determination of clinical diagnosis treatment of lymphoma from specimens taken on Fridays and weekends. Testing is performed on biopsies to detect very short-lived abnormal cells. Testing must be completed while the cells are still live or the lymphoma cells cannot be identified. Historically, the VA has utilized non-local contractors which comprised the tested cells through transit. The lymphoma cells did not survive through transit. These karyotypes are vital to correct diagnosis of malignancies. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 6.302 - Only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy this requirement. This notice of intent is not for competitive quotes. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any laboratory that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer within six (6) calendar days from the date of publication of this notice.
